The Assistant is a reality competition spoof of several reality shows (most obviously being The Apprentice) as the show centered around several young men and women trying to win money, a brand new car and the chance to be Andy Dick's assistant.
(Keep in mind that this should not be confused with the 2019 drama film of the same name.)
